In international T20 cricket, Yuvraj Singh has been a trailblazer. The ability to hit the big shots was something that came easily to him and when in 2007 - he kept clearing his front foot out of the way and smiting Stuart Broad for six sixes in an over - he ensured that the expectations from him would always remain high. It was also the kind of big-hitting that others aspired too - in a sense, he set the standard. Last night as the Kolkata Knight Riders beat the Royal Challengers Bangalore by two runs in a thriller - one couldn't help but wonder where that Yuvraj has disappeared to. He almost seems nervous in the middle - uncomfortable with responsibility, unsure of himself. Chris Lynn took a fantastic catch to stop what looked like the winning six and send back AB de Villiers. But did the match even need to go into the last over? After the match, Virat Kohli said: We lost that game rather than KKR winning that one. We played some really good cricket to restrict them to a total, built partnerships, but messed up the game in the last few overs.
